Muscle Car

This 1962 Plymouth Fury is one mean Muscle Car machine. I was shooting for fun one day a local drag strip when I ran across this car and was drawn to its beautiful paint scheme. I asked for permission to shoot some images of it and the owner said sure. While I was admiring and shooting this car he approached and asked me about my camera. The next thing I knew we had made arrangements for him to bring to my school so that I could shoot it for a project. When he drove this car into the building you could smell it all through the place. The fumes from the high octane fuel burn your eyes and smell really bad, but everyone in the building was in the room watching as he pulled in his muscle car for me to shoot. It was quite a night, I had almost the entire studio to myself to make set large enough for the car to fit in. I wish I still had access to the studio.
